10 Step Search Process

The best process yields the best results. Asset Resource Group structures flexible terms to meet each client ’s needs by working either on an engaged or contingent basis depending on priority and urgency of the situation. The 10 steps below describe the engaged search process. For contingency service, many of the same steps are utilized but with less depth and research.

Step 1: Requisition and Internal Approval

Gather information about the position and challenge the market validity.

Assess position responsibilities, technical and professional skills required, competitiveness of the compensation, hiring process and company/group dynamics.

Acknowledge fee agreement and terms.

Step 2: Client Approval

Conduct thorough interviews with hiring authorities.

Finalize and get Client approval of the position description and terms.

Upon receiving approval of position description and authorized terms, the search is launched.

Step 3: Existing Candidate Identification

Pull from existing Candidate database and narrow potential matches through a process based on work history and contributions, criteria for career movement, cultural and chemistry match, and technical compatibility.

The semi-finalists will be re-evaluated and approved for submission to Client.

Step 4: New Candidate Development

ARG will network our centers of influence to source industry “stars.”

Exploratory contacts are made to determine technical and professional proficiency and viability for career movement.

Candidates are not “baited” with Client’s requirements. They are asked to describe their true career motivation and desire for progression.

Uninfluenced Candidates that match Client’s assignment have an improved chance for retention and predictability.
